Soft tissue tumours of the foot are rare and often present a difficult clinical and diagnostic situation. We report of a 15-year-old male with a painless swelling at the lateral margin of the left foot. After X-ray and MRI an excisional biopsy was performed. Histology revealed true muscle hypertrophy without myopathic or degenerative changes, consistent with the diagnosis of congenital hypertrophy of the abductor digiti minimi muscle. At a follow-up of one and a half year there was no recurrence and the patient was satisfied with the shape and the appearance of the foot.
足部软组织肿瘤较为罕见,常常带来棘手的临床及诊断情况。我们报告一例15岁男性,其左脚外侧缘有无痛性肿胀。经X线和磁共振成像(MRI)检查后,进行了切除活检。组织学检查显示为真性肌肉肥大,无肌病或退行性改变,符合小趾展肌先天性肥大的诊断。随访一年半,无复发,患者对足部的形状和外观感到满意。
